Subject(s): Summary: The Dalai Lama of Tibet is one of the most respected leaders living today. Wherever he travels. he cuts across religious, national and political barriers and reaches the hearts of human beings. He truly cares for people everywhere, and everything he does is for the sake of achieving peace on this planet. What he says in A Human Approach to World Peace is not complicated or even unusual. In fact, it is almost radical in its simplicity. He feels that science and technology are indeed remarkable but alone are not enough to bring progress and contentment. We are all members of the same human family, and unless we develop a sense of universal responsibility and learn to see each other as brothers and sisters, there can never be world peace. And, above all, the Dalai Lama urges world leaders to meet in this way. 'We need a revolution,' he says, 'in our commitment to humanitarian values.'
